Public Works Act 1981

Motorways

137A: Interpretation

You could also call this:

“What 'motorway' means in this law has changed”

You should know that the part of the law called ‘Interpretation’ for ‘Motorways’ in the Public Works Act 1981 is no longer in use. It was removed on 1 October 1989. This means that this specific part of the law doesn’t apply anymore. If you need to understand what ‘motorway’ means in New Zealand law now, you might need to look at newer laws or ask someone who knows about current road laws.
